Gastric Bypass Kadikoy

Fabulous service from start to finish. Sena and Elif were great. Thoroughly recommended.

I booked to have gastric sleeve surgery through Apera with my Mum for 29th November 2022. From the moment we chose Apera, the process couldn’t have been smoother. My Mum messaged the WhatsApp number and was put in contact with Petek. We liked that Apera allowed us to process all the answers to the questions we had and didn't pressure us into making a rushed decision. Once we fully decided to go ahead with surgery, they were very thorough with their background checks regarding our current health and weight. When we arrived in Istanbul, we were greeted at the airport by Petek. She then took us to the minibus transfer which was very comfortable and spacious. We were offered water and started on our journey from the airport to the hotel. During the journey, Petek was happy to answer any questions that we had and got to know us a little better. In what felt like no time at all, we arrived at the hotel. The hotel lobby was very modern and inviting and we got checked in and shown to our room quickly. My Mum and I chose to share a room and it was lovely. Very clean, modern and comfortable. We were picked up in the minibus the next morning and Petek travelled with us again to the clinic. We were greeted at the clinic by more of the Apera team. We were shown to a lounge area where we filled in all our pre-surgery paperwork and paid for our treatment. We also met the nutritionist, who took our height and weight and calculated our stats such as BMI, ideal weight, body fat percentage etc. She gave us a printout of all the information for our own reference. We then got back into the minibus with Petek and taken to the hospital. First impressions of the hospital were that the lobby area felt more like a hotel entrance than a hospital, which actually helped with my nerves as it felt less clinical. The ward we stayed on was very spacious and our rooms were huge. We met the surgeon, Dr Cengiz Ertan, and some more of the Apera team. Everyone was so welcoming and it definitely helped with the nerves of surgery day! We had all of our pre-op tests done (ECG, blood test, scan). Once our blood test results were back and the surgeon had looked at all our tests, we were given the go ahead for surgery. The surgeon came to speak to us to explain the procedure and to answer any questions we had. Before we knew it, we were being told to change into our hospital gowns and stockings as it was time for surgery. The care we received after surgery was excellent. The nurses were always doing rounds and were available at the desk on the ward any time we needed and were happy to help. The surgeon also visited us after surgery and then every day we were in hospital. He offered us advice to help with recovery and checked our stitches. The morning after surgery, we were taken for a leak test and once we had the all clear from that, we were allowed to drink water. The day we left hospital, we met the nutritionist again who talked us through the bag of medication provided by Apera and gave us a presentation on diet for the next year. She was very informative and was happy to answer any questions we had. We were then taken back to the hotel to rest before we travelled home the next day. I would definitely recommend Apera to anyone who is considering gastric sleeve surgery as we felt very welcome and well looked after during our time with Apera. Everything was explained thoroughly and there was always someone available throughout the day to answer any questions we had.

I had VSG with Clinichub on the 12/10/2020 and I couldn’t be happier with my results and the service I received from Clinichub. From the time I was picked up from the airport to surgery day I felt like I was in safe hands and if I had any questions; I always had someone to clarify things for me. The hotel was amazing and nurses and doctors check up on you regularly even at the hotel. Currently my dietician communicates with me on a daily basis and checks up on what I’m eating and how I’m feeling. I would definitely recommend Clinichub to anyone looking to have VSG surgery, you won’t be disappointed.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joseph as my patient representative at the hospital, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Joseph was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to ensure that I was comfortable and well-informed throughout my stay. He answered all of my questions and made sure that I was aware of all my options. Joseph made me feel like I was in good hands, and I really appreciated his kindness and compassion. I highly recommend Joseph as a patient representative, and I am grateful for the exceptional care he provided to me during my visit to the hospital.
